Question : The LCM and ratio of the three numbers are 1386 and 3 : 7 : 11, respectively. The sum of the greatest and least numbers is:

Option 1: 60

Option 2: 64

Option 3: 84

Option 4: 108

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 84


Solution : The LCM and ratio of the three numbers = 1386
Let the numbers be $3x, 7x,$ and $11x$.
According to the question:
$(3\times7\times11)x=1386$
⇒ $231x=1386$
$\therefore x=6$
Thus, Least number $= 3x=3\times6=18$
Greatest number $=11x=11\times6=66$
$\therefore$ Sum $=18+66=84$
Hence, the correct answer is 84.

Question : Directions: A tap can fill up a tank of 1250 litres in 4 hours, whereas another tap can fill the same tank in 8 hours. An outlet tap can empty that tank in 6 hours. If all three taps are opened simultaneously, then how much time will it take to fill the tank?

Option 1: 4.2 Hours

Option 2: 5 Hours

Option 3: 4.5 Hours

Option 4: 4.8 Hours

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 4.8 Hours


Solution : Time taken by tap A to fill the tank = 4 hours
Tank filled by tap 1 in one hour = 1/4 part of the tank
Time taken by tap B to fill the tank = 8 hours
Tank filled by tap 2 in one hour = 1/8 part of the tank
Time taken by tap C to empty the tank = 6 hours
Tank emptied by tap 3 in one hour = 1/6 part of the tank
So, the part of the tank filled in one hour when all three taps are opened simultaneously = 1/4 + 1/8 – 1/6
= (6 + 3 – 4)/ 24 
= 5/24
Thus, time taken by 3 taps to fill the tank = 24/5 = 4.8 hours

So, the time taken by three taps to fill the tank is 4.8 hours. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
This is not ______ exhaustive list of words.

Option 1: many

Option 2: an

Option 3: a

Option 4: No word required

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: an


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

The use of "an" before "exhaustive" is necessary because "exhaustive" starts with a vowel sound. The article "an" is placed before the singular countable nouns starting with a vowel sound.

Therefore, the complete sentence should be: This is not an exhaustive list of words.

Question : Directions: Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in it.

14 26 182
24 16 192
? 22 187

Option 1: 21

Option 2: 30

Option 3: 23

Option 4: 17

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 17


Solution : Given:

14 26 182
24 16 192
? 22 187

The pattern can be observed running horizontally along the rows.
Row 1: (182 × 2) ÷ 26 = 364 ÷ 26 = 14
Row 2: (192 × 2) ÷ 16 = 384 ÷ 16 = 24
Row 3: (187 × 2) ÷ 22 = 374 ÷ 22 = 17

So, 17 is the missing number. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
